Company Overview

John Varvatos is a brand that unites old world craftsmanship and refined tailoring with modern innovations in textiles and a rock’n’roll sensibility.

Description

Launched in 2000 with a collection of tailored clothing and sportswear, the brand now represents an entire men’s lifestyle that includes footwear, bags, belts, eyewear, limited edition watches, men’s and women’s luxury skincare and fragrances, as well as the younger, edgier John Varvatos USA collection. A wildly successful collaboration with Converse gave rise to reinterpreted versions of the classic Chuck Taylor All Star and Jack Purcell sneakers.

It takes extraordinary courage for sexually abused children to reach out for help. They merit extraordinary support. Stuart House is an internationally recognized, model program created by the Rape Treatment Center at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center to serve the special needs of sexually abused children. In a child-friendly setting, Stuart House brings together a multiagency team (police, prosecutors, and other child protection personnel) to expedite investigations and child protection actions. Stuart House also provides 24-hour emergency medical care, state-of-the-art forensic services, comprehensive therapy, advocacy and other support services that help children heal from the traumatic effects of sexual abuse. All of these services are free to child victims and their families.
